Getting rid of the traffic in your life

As I was going to work today I was hearing about the next few days being the busiest travel days of the year. That was easy enough for me to believe as I found myself stuck in traffic this morning. I really dislike having to wait. I am early for everything and when I hit a snag, like traffic, it throws me off of my plans and I am not a happy camper. That is when I am reminded by the saying, "you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans". I am sure He got a laugh out of me this morning. There was nothing I could do about the traffic, I knew that, but it did not keep me from being frustrated. There is a reason for everything and I have to deal with the fact that I do not control the universe (had a hard time coming to grips with that fact though). Just like I had no control over traffic this morning, I know that I do not have any real control on my life either. I am ok with this fact though, because I know who does. See, I have given control of my life over to God. He knows far better than I where to lead me and I know that with Him guiding me I will always be taken care of. You can have that same peace of mind in your life. Get rid of the traffic that you have keeping you from where you want to go. You can try to control everything in your own life, but what does that get you? Frustration? Anger? Emptiness? You can put on a happy face all you want to but when you stop and really look at it, you know something is wrong. Stop fighting a fight that you can't win. Give control over to God and let him lead you today.
